Ann Byrne will have the signup sheets at the October into their collection! meeting. Terry Excel has returned to her duties as Editor of On the Dry Side (welcome back to a hard job!). She needs input from members who are not receiving the email copy of our newsletter. Please contact Terry if there is a problem. Donna Duerk came back from Massachusetts to find her gasterias had been prolific and brought in seeds to share. We were thanked for our contributions to the recent floral society show in Morro Bay. Kathie Matsuyama, doing double duty as a participant in the program while selling her beautiful plants in the other room, introduced the plants on the Brag Table. (PEOPLE! You need to bring in plants to show off! And we also would love to see the plants you are growing that represent the Plant of the Month). October’s Plant of the Month is Rhipsalis, a genus of epiphytic cacti, sometimes called Mistletoe Cacti. If you have any you want to share, it would be a treat (and educational) to see them. The Brag Table featured a beautiful arrangement of flowering Haemanthus albiflos brought in by Tim Dawson. We later learned that the same plant had just won awards at the Morro Bay show. Beautiful! Rob Skillin joined Kathie to describe the remaining plants on the Brag Table which happened to be his own plants. Rob said the winter growers are starting to grow now; he then described the raffle plants. Kathie Matsuyama elaborated on the Plant of the Month, Anacampseros and its relatives. See Kathie’s article in last month’s newsletter for information about these plants that have beautiful flowers in common. Kathie then introduced our featured speaker Bruce Hargreaves, who spoke about baobabs (Adansonia). There are eight species of this unique tree. Six species live in Madagascar, one in mainland Africa, and one in Australia. The baobab is the national tree of Madagascar. It would not be possible to convey the spirit of Bruce’s talk, but it was sprinkled with props that illustrated various aspects of baobabs. They are huge, with some almost 100 feet high and up to 30 feet in diameter. They don’t have rings but layers, similar to an onion, so that their bark and outer layers can be removed without killing them. Baobab trees are considered succulents because of their ability to store water in their tissues. Bruce’s wife Polly narrated a picture show from their days in Africa, including a trip to a resort and campground named Planet Baobab. It wasn’t a theme park after all, but there was a baobab tree in the courtyard. There may be a few baobabs in California – Charles Varni said there is one in Santa Barbara, and someone else suggested Balboa Park in San Diego as a possible site. Apparently they can be propagated. Following the break and the raffles (great selection, Rob!), the meeting adjourned. LET PAT GILSON KNOW YOUR INTENTIONS ABOUT THE DECEMBER POTLUCK Respectfully submitted, Carol Harlow Moss, Secretary CCCSS MEMBERSHIP Sunday DUE NOW!!! If you cannot make it to the Oct. 12th at meeting, send your renewal to: 2:00 pm CCCSS RENEWAL c/o Mary Peracca THE ODD 4486 Sunflower Way FELLOWS San Luis Obispo, CA 93401 [email protected] HALL 550-6977 Membership: 520 DANA ST. single-$20 family-$25 business-$40 (off Nipomo St.) SPEAKER OF THE MONTH PAUL MILLS While looking for a summer job in 1990 I happened across Abbey Garden Cactus and Succulent nursery in Carpinteria and instantly knew that I had to work there. I ended up working there for five years while finishing up studies in biogeography at UCSB and during that time had the opportunity to work in the field in Mexico with Charlie Glass, then of CANTE, and Ted Anderson of Desert Botanical Garden, Phoenix. After Abbey Garden moved out of town in 1995 I started working at Lotusland and I am currently the assistant curator and plant propagator. In 1999 I took a year off to study plant conservation at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew outside of London and to travel in Europe and South America. I’ve had a long affinity to Chile and am currently working with Ventura Botanical Gardens to develop the Chilean plant collection. I own a small house on the central coast of Chile with a friend and ended up marrying a Chilean. A long with our seven year old daughter, we try to make an annual trip to Chile to visit family, eat amazing seafood and travel to further explore the flora Chile. In the north you find the hyper-arid Atacama Desert where some areas have never received measurable rainfall. Plants are relegated to the fog belt where they receive moisture in the form of condensation and occasional rain in conjunction with El Nino events. The majority of the cacti in the genera Copiapoa, Eriosyce and Eulychnia are found here. Central Chile enjoys a Mediterranean climate, just like central California, with warm, dry summers and wet, cool winters. The major population centers of Chile are located in the central part of the country and the landscape has been drastically altered by agriculture and for the massive plantations of pine and eucalyptus that are mostly used for pulp for foreign paper industries. There are isolated patches of native vegetation and a few national parks where the flora of the region can be appreciated. There are quite a few species of Eriosyce to be seen in the region along with Trichocereus (Echinopsis), Puya and the now ultra-common Cistanthe grandiflora. In the southern reaches of Chile there is increased rainfall so the cacti start to fall by the wayside but these temperate forests are home to the some of the southernmost bromeliads in the world. With its dramatic geography, amazing plants, stable government and strong economy, good infrastructure and warm people, Chile is an interesting and easy travel destination for intrepid plant seekers.

This document has been prepared by Mr James Grogan under contract with the CITES Secretariat.1 2. Background information can be found in two key CITES documents: CoP15 Doc. 55, submitted by the Management Authority of Switzerland, describes the issue under consideration in this report, whether certain genera of epiphytic cacti (seven as listed below) should be excluded from Appendix II based on the preponderance of artificially propagated compared to wild- collected specimens in international trade; IUCN Red List conservation status is reviewed, and trade data for gross exports of wild-collected specimens from range nations during 1975–2008 are presented; PC19 Doc. 14.1, prepared by the Chair of the Working Group on the Periodic Review with assistance from the Scientific Authority of Mexico, presents further analysis of trade data during 1998–2008 including the number of specimens of epiphytic cacti in trade that were artificially propagated, number of records and specimens that were wild collected, confiscated or seized, or of unknown origin during this period, and geographic ranges of species in question. Natural range, morphology & taxonomy of the epiphytic cacti 3. The Cactaceae are a New World family except for one species, the epiphytic Rhipsalis baccifera, which is also found in Africa, Madagascar and as far east as Sri Lanka. Seven genera are considered here: Disocactus, Epiphyllum, Hatiora, Lepismium, PseudoRhipsalis, Rhipsalis, and Schlumbergera. 4. These genera are grouped in two tribes of the subfamily Cactoideae within the Cactaceae family: Hylocereeae: Disocactus, Epiphyllum, PseudoRhipsalis Rhipsalideae: Hatiora, Lepismium, Rhipsalis, Schlumbergera 5.

  • A Taxonomic Backbone for the Global Synthesis of Species Diversity in the Angiosperm Order Caryophyllales
    Zurich Open Repository and Archive University of Zurich Main Library Strickhofstrasse 39 CH-8057 Zurich www.zora.uzh.ch Year: 2015 A taxonomic backbone for the global synthesis of species diversity in the angiosperm order Caryophyllales Hernández-Ledesma, Patricia; Berendsohn, Walter G; Borsch, Thomas; Mering, Sabine Von; Akhani, Hossein; Arias, Salvador; Castañeda-Noa, Idelfonso; Eggli, Urs; Eriksson, Roger; Flores-Olvera, Hilda; Fuentes-Bazán, Susy; Kadereit, Gudrun; Klak, Cornelia; Korotkova, Nadja; Nyffeler, Reto; Ocampo, Gilberto; Ochoterena, Helga; Oxelman, Bengt; Rabeler, Richard K; Sanchez, Adriana; Schlumpberger, Boris O; Uotila, Pertti Abstract: The Caryophyllales constitute a major lineage of flowering plants with approximately 12500 species in 39 families. A taxonomic backbone at the genus level is provided that reflects the current state of knowledge and accepts 749 genera for the order. A detailed review of the literature of the past two decades shows that enormous progress has been made in understanding overall phylogenetic relationships in Caryophyllales. The process of re-circumscribing families in order to be monophyletic appears to be largely complete and has led to the recognition of eight new families (Anacampserotaceae, Kewaceae, Limeaceae, Lophiocarpaceae, Macarthuriaceae, Microteaceae, Montiaceae and Talinaceae), while the phylogenetic evaluation of generic concepts is still well underway. As a result of this, the number of genera has increased by more than ten percent in comparison to the last complete treatments in the Families and genera of vascular plants” series. A checklist with all currently accepted genus names in Caryophyllales, as well as nomenclatural references, type names and synonymy is presented. Notes indicate how extensively the respective genera have been studied in a phylogenetic context.

Christie and Leonard Johnson CACTUS CULTURE FOR AMATEURS: BEING DESCRIPTIONS OF THE VARIOUS CACTUSES GROWN IN THIS COUNTRY. with FULL AND PRACTICAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR THEIR SUCCESSFUL CULTIVATION. By W. WATSON, Assistant Curator of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. page 1 / 252 PROFUSELY ILLUSTRATED. LONDON: L. UPCOTT GILL, 170, STRAND, W.C. 1889. [Illustration: FIG. 1.--A COLLECTION OF CACTUSES. Frontispiece.] PREFACE The idea that Cactuses were seldom seen in English gardens, because so little was known about their cultivation and management, suggested to the Publisher of this book that a series of chapters on the best kinds, and how to grow them successfully, would be useful. These chapters were written for and published in The Bazaar, in 1885 and following years. Some alterations and additions have been made, and the whole is now offered as a thoroughly practical and descriptive work on the subject. The descriptions are as simple and complete as they could be made; the names here used are those adopted at Kew; and the cultural directions are as full and detailed as is necessary. No species or variety is omitted which is known to be in cultivation, or of sufficient interest page 2 / 252 to be introduced. The many excellent figures of Cactuses in the Botanical Magazine (Bot. Mag.) are referred to under each species described, except in those cases where a complete figure is given in this book. My claims to be heard as a teacher in this department are based on an experience of ten years in the care and cultivation of the large collection of Cactuses at Kew.
